According to Horowitz, the IRS contends that, by reporting on Hillary Clinton’s national security violations, the tax-exempt foundation effectively endorsed Trump.
Nobody likes the IRS, but Americans always assumed that the IRS was an equal opportunity government pest, bedeviling people across the political spectrum. The belief in the agency’s non-partisan status vanished in 2013 when we learned that the IRS had deliberately withheld tax-exempt status from Tea Party organizations, severely hampering their ability to share information during the 2012 presidential election. Now, David Horowitz contends that the IRS is trying to destroy his long tax-exempt Freedom Center, which, among many things, publishes Frontpage Magazine.

However, after working closely with the Black Panthers, Horowitz concluded that his former beliefs were completely wrong and that America’s founding principles were the best way to bring about maximum happiness and prosperity to the greatest number of people.

It would seem so, Congress.
So, what’s taking so long.
You don’t need our money, you have the Federal Reserve and all the printing presses necessary.
Rid us of this evil before it is too late. Please.
...and if not, you will be telegraphing exactly where you stand vis a vis “We the People” and you the corruptocrats.
I would support a flat tax or some such option It might take a few hundred employees with computers to enforce it. No matter who does investigations a corrupt president might corrupt any federal agency. But even a routine tax code needs some administration.
